lyrics
Small town life in the small town world is where you got your roots
you worked real hard from dawn to dusk‘ dirty hands and mud on yer boots
Then you started running with the crazy crowd in the city and partyin' late
You got a big ego, you're talkin' loud while we sit back and wait
I always thought you were the laid back type coz you had an easy style
But now it seems you're all hyped up can’t you just sit back for a while
You're out on the edge not like you used to be
You're out on the edge not like you used to be
On the edge!!
So you think you need that rat race life in the fast lane all the time
are you sure you need that rats paced life runnin' down the line?
It seems to me you’re forgetting the people who helped you get where you are
yeah you're just ignorin' the people who helped you get this far
I think you need to step back once and take stock of who you are
Yeah you need to step back once and look at who you are
You're lookin' for the answer and you know it's there!!!
Don't forget the way it used to be things were simple then
and don't think you can’t get back to, back to way back when
Try to remember the good old days with family and your friends and don't think you can’t get back to, back to way back when
On the edge!!!!!!!!!
you worked real hard from dawn to dusk‘ dirty hands and mud on yer boots
Then you started running with the crazy crowd in the city and partyin' late
You got a big ego, you're talkin' loud while we sit back and wait
I always thought you were the laid back type coz you had an easy style
But now it seems you're all hyped up can’t you just sit back for a while
You're out on the edge not like you used to be
You're out on the edge not like you used to be
On the edge!!
So you think you need that rat race life in the fast lane all the time
are you sure you need that rats paced life runnin' down the line?
It seems to me you’re forgetting the people who helped you get where you are
yeah you're just ignorin' the people who helped you get this far
I think you need to step back once and take stock of who you are
Yeah you need to step back once and look at who you are
You're lookin' for the answer and you know it's there!!!
Don't forget the way it used to be things were simple then
and don't think you can’t get back to, back to way back when
Try to remember the good old days with family and your friends and don't think you can’t get back to, back to way back when
On the edge!!!!!!!!!
